Crafty Tips:

• Mix & Match:  Let kids use their amazing creativity! Try mixing pieces from different disguises for some truly unique disguises! Maybe it’s an astronaut that also likes to dabble in the Arts?  Maybe it’s a superhero that has a day job of being a Chef! Let them be creative in the best way their turkey wants to hide!
• Use as Decor: These disguised turkeys make adorable decorations for the Thanksgiving dinner table or can be used as place cards. You can even add a magnet to the back of your finished turkey as cute decor for the refrigerator. 
• Pre-Cut:  These printable templates were made with slightly older Elementary kids in mind as some of the cutting is more tedious. We were mindful to have each turkey only have about 4-6 pieces that would need to be cut out. Kindergarten age through 2nd grade might need some assistance with some of the smaller pieces. It depends on each child’s skill level. 🙂
